Arrest de la Chambre du Domaine, portant confiscation des biens du siur Comte de Moret, & reunion dudit Comté au Domaine de sa Majesté
A 1631 legal decree printed in Paris by Pierre Mettayer for the Chambre du Domaine, a French royal court, ordering the confiscation of the Comte de Moret's estates and their return to the crown. The pictures are small printer's ornaments: a crowned heraldic cartouche with fleur-de-lis and a lozenge shield, a decorated initial S set in foliage, a Boston Public Library seal with classical figures and a laurel wreath, and a strip of tumbling figures. A designer could draw on the crowned cartouche and the foliage initial for period-style frames, borders and monograms.
